The Spirit uses the word of God to make us like his son ..must fill our lives with the word .. I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread (Job) ...menu for spiritual strength and growth
Abide in God's word ...if you abide in my word, then you are truly disciples of mine ..... Must .....
Accept its authority ..standard for life
Assimilate its truth ...not just believe ...fill mind...let spirit transform me with it
Receive God' word ...listen and accept with an open, receptive attitude ...sower ... Closed mind (hard soil), superficial mind (shallow soil) and distracted mind (weedy soil)
Read the bible ..daily ... 30 min per day would be twice a year ..keeps you in range of a God's voice
Researching or studying ...ask questions and write down insights
Abide in God's word ..remembering it ..keep revising verses
Reflect .. Meditation ...focused thinking ..key to answered prayer and successful living
Must apply it's principals ..doers ..implement ..obey ..write an action step as result of reading .... This action step needs to be personal, practical and provable (deadline)
Thoughts
Must put aside time every day for bible study ...get disciplined on this ..keep notes ..set actions
